Congressman Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.) expressed confidence during an interview Sunday, in Vice President Kamala Harris’s ability to solve the southern border crisis, even with a record number of families and unaccompanied minors arriving each day.

“We’re very confident under Vice President Harris’s strong leadership that she will find a way,” Ruiz told MSNBC. “She’s already working with local human rights leaders, local organizations that are legitimate, in order to ensure that they receive the aid and that there’s strategic transparent, accountable funding to the government, but mostly going to legitimate non-government organizations who are on the ground with the people.”
